Interesting... I know for a fact that I've still got almost every CD I've ever bought and I can vividly remember a lot of the first discs I bought because it was both exciting and expensive at the time. I've dug out a whole bunch of them and although I've EAC'd them they certainly seem OK in listening tests. In fact I've been able to compare some much new copies because I have some accidental duplicates. -- hifisteve ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hifisteve's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4227 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22679 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
